Sang Matiz

We can perform for more quiet groups, as well as a more danceable crowd. We'll light up your event with a unique mix of South American music and pop, touching melodies that will transport you to a time where every art form is possible--- a moment in time to remember forever. We'll make sure we satisfy your guests by measuring our takes while we play. Understanding dynamics is everything; we watch for the right moments to be more subtle, and the right moments to kick up the energy for more fun. We listen to your needs and what you ask of us at all times. Book Sang Matiz to make your event memorable!

...Sounds like The Gypsy Kings and Jamiroquai had a baby in South America! (Easier to understand once you listen to the music)

​Sang Matiz has been performing for 7 years, fusing World and Afro-Brazilian/Peruvian beats with contemporary rhythms such as Pop, Jazz, and Funk. Thanks to a grant awarded by The California Arts Council Endowment for the Arts and The San Francisco Arts Commission for Cultural Equity, they released the album, “Ship It!”.

Most recently in August 2015, they were chosen and honored to open for the legendary Cuban band "Buena Vista Social Club" Orchestra for their “Adios Tour." Throughout the years, they’ve also had the great opportunity to collaborate with various renowned Bay Area musicians such as: Jackeline Rago (Master Percussionist), Miguelito Martinez (Flutist/Composer), Silvestre Martinez (Composer/Percussionist), and Grammy Award-winner Braulio Barrera (Pacific Mambo Orchestra), among many others. In addition, they've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with national and international acts such as Jorge Santana (Malo) and Pete Escovedo.
